Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Osmosis is the process of ____
A
movement of water across a membrane where dissolved ions are higher.
B
Movement of water and nutrients where dissolved ions are higher.
C
Movement of water that requires energy for transport
D
Movement of water and nutrients that requires energy for transport.
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Osmosis is the movement of water across a semi-permeable membrane from an area of low solute concentration to an area of high solute concentration. Osmosis helps regulate the flow of water in and out of cells, which is crucial to their function.

Detailed explanation-2: -Osmosis happens when molecules move from higher to lower concentrations, but diffusion happens when it is reversed.

Detailed explanation-3: -In osmosis, water moves from areas of low concentration of solute to areas of high concentration of solute.

Detailed explanation-4: -Osmosis refers to the movement of fluid across a membrane in response to differing concentrations of solutes on the two sides of the membrane. Osmosis has been used since antiquity to preserve foods by dehydration with salt or sugar. The removal of water from a tissue by salt was referred to as imbibition.

Detailed explanation-5: -Osmosis is a specific type of diffusion; it is the passage of water from a region of high water concentration through a semi-permeable membrane to a region of low water concentration.
